Chapter 423 From now on, the palace’s property will be a problem for the two ladies.

Lu Chen thought to himself that if spiritual rice could be used to improve the strength of army soldiers, not to mention anything else, just the increase in strength would be able to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

Many of the troops in the North are ordinary people, especially the soldiers in the artillery battalions. The strength of ordinary people is far inferior to that of warriors, but these ordinary soldiers are responsible for transporting cannons and carrying artillery shells.

If these ordinary soldiers become warriors, no matter how high their realm is, as long as they can become fifth-level warriors, then their marching speed with heavy weapons will be greatly accelerated.

Soldiers are valuable and quick, and sometimes you need to be in a hurry when fighting a war.

Lu Chen looked straight at the spiritual rice in front of him, thinking to himself that it seemed that he had to find a trustworthy person to be responsible for the cultivation of spiritual rice.

When enough spiritual rice is obtained in the future, the overall strength of the Northern soldiers will be greatly improved.

Just when Lu Chen was distracted, Mu Zixuan said, "Your Majesty, this spiritual rice should be ready for harvest. Why don't I find someone to harvest it?"

Although Lu Chen has always been taking care of this spiritual rice, there are so many of them, so Lu Chen can't let Lu Chen go to the fields to harvest this spiritual rice himself.

Lu Chen said: "Well, okay, then I would like to trouble my concubine to find some trustworthy people to collect these rice as seeds and continue to plant them after a while.

Having said this, Lu Chen continued: "I'll go have breakfast first. You arrange for a few carpenters to come to the palace and ask them to wait for me in the outer courtyard for a while. Then I will arrange some work for them."

Mu Zixuan said: "I understand."

Then Mu Zixuan said to the maid next to her: "Go and bring the prince's breakfast."

Lu Chen immediately entered the Fengyun Palace and went to have breakfast.

When Lu Chen came out after breakfast, Mu Zixuan had arranged for some carpenters to wait for Lu Chen in the outer courtyard. Mu Zixuan was a little curious and didn't know what Lu Chen wanted the carpenters to do.

Since this matter was in the palace, she should be able to see it, so Mu Zixuan also followed Lu Chen to the outer courtyard, planning to see what Lu Chen wanted to do.

When Lu Chen came to the outer courtyard and saw the carpenters, he asked people to move the branches of the dragon and phoenix tree to the outer courtyard, and then asked the carpenters to make wooden figures in the palace.

When they heard Lu Chen said that he wanted to make a wooden figure, the carpenters were very puzzled. They didn't know what the use of Lu Chen's making a wooden figure was. However, they were all craftsmen from Dayu City. They obeyed Lu Chen's orders 100%, so The carpenters didn't think much and started processing the branches of the dragon and phoenix tree.

Seeing the carpenters busy at work, Mu Zixuan came to Lu Chen and asked directly: "My lord, what are the wooden figures you asked them to make?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, my dear, you will know when they make it."

Seeing that Lu Chen had said so, Mu Zixuan did not continue to ask. Lu Chen seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot. I told Jun Wan yesterday that let You guys should get to know each other first.”

Having said this, Lu Chen said to the maid next to Mu Zixuan: "Xiaorou, ask Mrs. Wu to come to Fengyun Courtyard."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the maid went to Wu Yunwan's place, Lu Chen put his arm around Mu Zixuan's waist and walked towards the inner courtyard. As he walked, he said, "My dear concubine, let's go to Fengyun Courtyard to wait for her first."

Mu Zixuan whispered "Yeah" and followed Lu Chen back to Fengyun Courtyard.

Mu Zixuan felt pressured to meet Wu Yunwan because Wu Yunwan was the eldest princess of Dawu and her status was relatively noble.

Although the Mu family had a high status in Daxia before, it was nothing compared to the Dawu royal family behind Wu Yunwan.

Although she felt a little stressed, Mu Zixuan quickly adjusted her attitude. She thought to herself that she was Lu Chen's princess after all and could not embarrass Lu Chen.

Not long after, under the leadership of the maid, Wu Yunwan arrived at the core area of ​​the North Prince's Mansion.

When Wu Yunwan walked into Fengyun Courtyard, Lu Chen and Mu Zixuan were sitting in a pavilion, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Wu Yunwan then went to the pavilion. When he saw Wu Yunwan coming, Lu Chen said with a smile: "My dear concubine, let me introduce to you. This is the helper I have found for you, the eldest princess of Dawu."

After hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately stood up and took the initiative to walk out of the pavilion to greet Wu Yunwan, "Sister Wu, I have heard the prince mention you a long time ago, but it is a pity that you have been staying in the east courtyard and I have no chance to see you."

"It is rumored that Sister Wu is so beautiful that one could admire her. When I saw her today, she certainly lived up to her reputation."

Seeing that Princess Mu Zixuan was so enthusiastic towards her, Wu Yunwan became wary. She suspected that Mu Zixuan was afraid that she would threaten her status, so she pretended to please herself first, and then dug holes for herself to frame herself. .

For a person who has lived in the royal family since childhood, he still knows a lot about things in the harem.

However, I didn't want to hit the smiling man. Since Mu Zixuan took the initiative to show her kindness on the surface, I couldn't say anything bad at this time.

Wu Yunwan said with a smile: "Thank you, Princess, for the compliment."

Speaking of this, Wu Yunwan glanced at Lu Chen, and then said: "The prince is so lucky to be able to marry a smart and capable woman like the princess."

Hearing the two of them bragging about each other's business, Lu Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Stop bragging to each other, come and sit down quickly, and I will tell you about the next palace industry." Take care of it like this."

Mu Zixuan then took Wu Yunwan's hand and said, "Sister Wu, let's go over."

Wu Yunwan said: "Yeah, okay."

Then the two women came to the pavilion and sat down. Lu Chen said at this time: "The palace has more and more properties. In the future, you two alone will probably not be able to manage it, so the palace needs to recruit more talents." .”

At this point, Lu Chen told the two women about his plan to set up examinations to recruit talents. After hearing Lu Chen's thoughts, both women thought this method was feasible.

Nowadays, Mu Zixuan alone arranges the management personnel of Wangfu's industries, and Mu Zixuan has the final say on promotions and other matters. Although this can ensure that they are all Wangfu's own people, there are too many properties in Wangfu. , Mu Zixuan spends a lot of time dealing with personnel changes every day.

If there is a special personnel agency responsible for selecting talents through examinations, Mu Zixuan will only need to sign and agree.

At this time, Lu Chen looked at Wu Yunwan and said: "Wanwan, although I asked you to start contacting the palace's property now, you are not married yet, so I may have to wrong you for a period of time. You can help me temporarily. The princess will take care of the palace's properties, and after you get married, I will directly hand over some properties to you for management."

Hearing Lu Chen call herself Wanwan, Wu Yunwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Chen.

I am obviously older than this little man, but this guy actually calls me that.

Although there were some small emotions in her heart, Wu Yunwan still didn't dwell on them too much, "Okay, I understand."

At this time, Lu Chen stretched out his hand, directly hugged the waist of Mu Zixuan and Wu Yunwan, and said with a smile: "From now on, the palace's property will be a problem for the two ladies. I believe that under your care, the palace's property can be Continue to grow bigger and stronger and earn more money for our palace."

Being hugged by Lu Chen in front of the princess, Wu Yunwan always felt strange in her heart. This guy did this on purpose, trying to get closer to the princess, right?

After all, she used to be a high-ranking person, so how could she not see Lu Chen's little thoughts, but she didn't say much.

Anyway, she has planned to be with this little man for the rest of her life. As long as Mu Zixuan doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble for her, she will not find trouble with Mu Zixuan.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, so he continued: "If the two ladies have different ideas in the future, you can tell me directly."

Since the two of them are allowed to manage the palace's property together, they will definitely have different ideas in the future. In order to avoid conflicts between the two, Lu Chen plans to make the decision himself when they have different ideas.

Mu Zixuan said: "I understand."

Having said this, Mu Zixuan's eyes fell on Wu Yunwan and continued: "Sister Wu, since you are already the prince's woman, you should also come to Fengyun Courtyard for dinner in the future."

"This is the custom of the palace. The whole family must get together every night during dinner."

Naturally, Wu Yunwan had heard about this regulation of the palace a long time ago.

"Okay, I'll come tonight."

Wu Yunwan looked at Lu Chen and asked: "Your Majesty, you don't have many wives and concubines now, and Fengyun Court can accommodate so many people. If one day your wives and concubines increase by dozens, and your children increase by hundreds." , the child has a child again, will you still ask your wives and concubines to gather together when you have dinner? "

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Lu Chen smiled and said, "That's a problem."

Lu Chen didn't have many women at first, so it was okay to have dinner together, and they could also enhance their relationship with each other. But as she had more and more wives and concubines, and more and more children, now when they have dinner, Children always like to make a lot of noise, and the entire Fengyun Palace is like a vegetable market.

Lu Chen said: "Let's do this. After Nan Yan and Yaoyao's child is born, we will not hold dinner parties in the future. We will hold dinner parties when there are major festivals."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with a family sitting in the Fengyun Palace having dinner in a lively and lively manner, and most of the women in the palace were used to it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yunwan's words made Lu Chen cancel the dinner. Although it was not canceled immediately, Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao's child would be born in a few months.

Mu Zixuan felt a little pity in her heart, but when she thought about the birth of the two children, there would be two more people in the palace, and then there would be even more people in Fengyun Palace. This was indeed a trouble.

After all, if there is one more child, there will be two more wet nurses to take care of the child. Two children means four wet nurses. Even if the wet nurses do not come to the table to eat, they will enter the Fengyun Palace and occupy the space of the Fengyun Palace.

Lu Chen said to Mu Zixuan: "My dear concubine, please tell Wanwan about the palace's property situation."

"Well, I understand."

Then Mu Zixuan took out some industrial information of the palace and explained the industry situation of the palace to Wu Yunwan in detail.

After listening to Mu Zixuan's explanation, Wu Yunwan felt extremely shocked. She did not expect that the palace owned more properties than the Dawu royal family.

Lu Chen's princess is not a simple woman. She manages so many industries by herself, and there are no major problems in these industries. This proves that Mu Zixuan does have some tricks as a princess.

This also made Wu Yunwan more wary of Mu Zixuan. (End of chapter)
